The county government that oversees Seattle and other areas will require patrons to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination to enter restaurants, gyms, and related indoor businesses in a move that echoes mandates issued recently by New York City, New Orleans, San Francisco, and Los Angeles County.
The order, which applies to all of Washington’s King County including Seattle, goes into effect on Oct. 25 and mandates that indoor restaurants and bars that have the capacity to seat 12 people or more will have to ask people to show proof of vaccination. That mandate applies to customers aged 12 and older.
